How Nuclear energy is converted/transferred into usable energy: Nuclear fission generates heat which makes steam which turns turbines, turbines turn generators and generate electrical power.
How nuclear energy is used today: Nuclear power is used to power nuclear power plants and to power nuclear weapons and more.
Advantages of using nuclear energy:
Not expensive
No smoke produced
Huge amount of energy from small amount of feul
Small amount of waste
Disadvantages of using nuclear energy:
Very dangerous
Must be sealed up and burried for a long time to allow the radioactivity to die away
Alot of money must be spent on safety
Nuclear energy is a nonrenewable energy source The source of nuclear energy is uranium atoms
